To all 'whom z't may concern Be it known that I, J osEPH A. OORNELL, ofColon, in the county of St. Joseph and State of Michigan, have inventeda new and useful Improvement in Olothes-Rubbers; and do hereby declarethe following to be a full, clear, and' exaet description of theconstruction and operation of the same, reference being had to theannexed drawings making a part of this specification and to the lettersof reference marked thereon, which will enable rubbers may be made ofrnbber, wood, or metal.

When using my rubber to wash clothes, I take hold of the handles D D andpress the rubbers down on the clothes, which allows enough of theclothe's to come up between them, to be griped between them, when thehand is closed, which holds them while rubbing.

rhe rubber can be placed on any part of the clothes, and operate similarto the hand process.

Having described my invention, its operation and use, what I claim asnew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In combination with the rubbers A A and arms B1B, hinged together attheir top, and provided With the handles D D, the springs E E interposedbetween the said arms, as and for the purpose specified' z Vitnesses:JOSEPH A. OORNELL.
